Types of Braces in the Hudson Valley NY

Invisalign – Invisalign is an alternative to traditional braces. Plastic aligners are made from 3D molds to gently shift your teeth to their prescribed position.

Ceramic/Clear Braces – Ceramic braces are similar to traditional metal braces, but can be clear or the same color of your teeth, making them less noticeable.

Traditional Metal Braces – Traditional metal braces may be what you envision when you think of braces. Made from metal alloy, these braces are glued directly to your teeth and maneuvered with a wire that is tightened weekly.

Sunshine Orthodontics believe that orthodontic treatment is specific to the individual. We offer a free consultation in order to determine the best type of braces for each person. Contact us, today to schedule a consultation and begin the journey to your most beautiful smile, today!

Braces

What Are Traditional, Metal Braces?

Traditional, stainless steel, braces are made of brackets that are bonded to the front of your teeth. Each bracket has edges known as wings that metal or elastic bands can be tied. They hold the orthodontic wire in place. The brackets are available in different shapes and sizes (depending on the manufacturer).

Dr. Mansour and the team at Sunshine Orthodontics work with people of all ages in the Hudson Valley of NY! Many adults may feel self conscious about wearing braces, but nearly 25% of all orthodontic patients are now adults. Never feel uncomfortable for wanting to better your smile and your health!

Advantages

These metal brackets won’t stain or chip.

Cost-effective option for kids, teens, & adults.

Unique style! At each appointment, we fit new elastics around metal brackets that hold the wire in. The possibilities of color combinations are endless, which makes getting treatment more fun for kids!

Disadvantages

Metal can irritate gums and cheeks, at first.

Traditional, metal brackets are very noticeable.

Be careful about what you eat, especially things that can stick to the braces (such as caramel or gum). You also have to avoid eating hard foods, which can move or dislodge the brackets.
